A free mini-series for women to break the cycle of self-doubt and the never ending quest towards enoughness, and to unlock their embodied self-confidence.

ACCESS THE SOMATIC SELF-DOUBT REMEDY

OUR Vision

At The School Of Somatic Leadership For Women™, we envision a world where women feel empowered to express their voice authentically, and to break the internalised narratives that are keeping us feeling stressed, burnt out, doubting ourselves and playing small.

We believe that it is possible for women to have the conscious impact they desire within their families, communities and workplaces without sacrificing themselves.

We guide women back into their bodies, where they can reconnect with their somatic wisdom, resilience, courage and power, and truly embody the impact they desire to have.

This transformational journey is a personal path and a movement. It leads us to reimagine what is possible not only for ourselves, but also for generations of young women to come.

How can we support you?

We offer coaching, mentoring, training and retreats for women and practitioners working with women.

Our approach encompasses not only working with the mind, but also working somatically, with and through the body to create deeper, longer lasting transformation.

Like our mind, our bodies are a collection of our most prominent beliefs and experiences. Therefore, a whole-body approach is needed to unwind the patterns that are keeping us from stepping fully into our potential, our life and our leadership.

Amplify your impact as a woman leader.

Uniquely crafted for women leaders and conscious change makers, the Embodied Feminine Leadership programme is for women who want to lead from a place of self-worth, inner resilience, embodied confidence, purpose and ease.

AMPLIFY MY IMPACT

Return to wholeness.

Our Serenity Within programme helps women to go from feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and stuck to feeling calmer, lighter, more resilient and joyful. Wherever you are, it will help you see a clear path forward.

INTEGRATE SOMATIC APPROACHES IN MY COACHING

MEET THE FOUNDER

HI, I’M ISABELLE

I’m the Founder of The School Of Somatic Leadership For Women™, a Somatic & Embodied Feminine Leadership coach, trainer and educator.

Several years ago, after years of striving without ever pausing, my life came crashing down. My mental and emotional health plummeted. My anxiety reached such a level that the smallest hurdle in my day sent me into a downward emotional spiral.

I now know that I experienced a severe burnout.

It very nearly broke me.

Like most challenging experiences, it opened a doorway towards change.

It served as a catalyst to transform the way I choose to live and to reorient my purpose and my work.

After 20 years in the corporate world, I now specialise in helping women to reconnect with themselves and their intrinsic sense of self-worth, and to break the cycles keeping them feeling stressed and burnt out, doubting themselves and playing small.

Because when we tone down the perfectionism, people pleasing, anxiety and struggling, space opens up to engage with life in a richer, more fulfilling and conscious way.

My coaching is insightful, transformational and compassionate because this has been my journey too.

“In life, we need to portray this well put-together version of ourselves and hide our vulnerabilities. Isabelle has truly made a real, positive impact on my life. I’m able to break down the self-destructive thought patterns I let roam free in the past.”
“Working with Isabelle has been absolutely life changing. I have come to appreciate how our minds work in terms of dealing with issues and how this can affect our behaviour. I have been able to process negative emotions that I had been carrying around for years. This has been an absolute revelation.”
“Isabelle has helped me to get to a point where I’m able to bring my whole self to any given situation, without the negative emotions getting in the way, clouding my judgement and dictating my behaviour. It’s been incredibly rewarding.”

Our APPROACH

What makes us different

Through an integrative approach which includes somatic coaching, parts work, somatic positive psychology, mindfulness, self-compassion, and embodiment, we guide women back into their body to release the deeply ingrained patterns that are preventing us from feeling whole, confident, rested and impactful.

We offer a unique combination of somatic practices, leadership development, and personal inner work in a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate, and trauma-informed space, where women are invited to deepen their self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-trust and ultimately regain their self-sovereignty.

We apply a feminine lens to our work, and we believe in the power of polarity. As women, we can be both vulnerable AND fierce, compassionate AND strong, independent AND caring, generous AND boundaried.

“I want women to claim the treasure of our own power.”

Finding Anchors in Times of Transition and Uncertainty

We all navigate moments where it feels like our life is becoming ‘undone’.

Whether that’s relationships ending, burnout, grief, uncertainty, collective unease, or natural seasonal changes in a woman’s life such as transitions into motherhood or the menopause.

In those times, it can feel like the stability we have known is pulled from under our feet.

Like a plant that has been uprooted, we become untethered, hanging in the liminal space between what has been and what is yet to come.

Leading in Times of Chaos: The Leadership We Need Now

Over the past couple of weeks I have been fortunate enough to attend a weekly group circle dedicated to exploring how to navigate times of chaos and polycrisis - it has been illuminating, tender and perspective shifting.

Simply being with others asking themselves similar questions, sharing our respective experiences and coming together to forge a path forward that feels true to each of us and the whole has been a gift.

It has crystalised even more deeply for me the need for us to come together, to co-create a path forward, to focus on our communities and the places where we can make a difference.

Trusting the Wisdom Of Our Body: 6 Ways Somatic Intelligence Can Help Us Live and Lead With More Presence, Wellbeing, Purpose And Confidence

Have you ever felt torn between what your mind (or the outside world) was telling you to do, and how your body felt about it? Perhaps you were considering applying for a new job, saying yes to an invitation, or considering how to navigate an argument with a friend, a child or your partner?

Have you ever ignored an inner nudge or a deep knowing, followed what you thought you should do, and regretted it later (wishing you could have a do over)?

Most of us are very aware of our thoughts, but much less so of the language of our body.

We often forget that our body holds deep wisdom.

In this blog post, I explore the power of our somatic intelligence: the wisdom of our body, this innate guidance system within us that can lead us towards more of what we truly desire: aliveness, clarity, confidence, or ease.
